Re: script works only during debugging

This old stack is still the best way to learn about how to use send, cancel, pendingmessages and callbacks. Dar Scott's Primer on Message Mechanics this is a MUST DOWNLOAD. Brilliant. On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 5:49 PM, Nicolas Cueto wrote: > > Okay, the

> Okay, the analogy is getting out of hand. It's how I've always understood "send". Thanks, Bob. Which analogy also illustrates why I thought that, when there's more than one "send in Z E R O milliseconds" placed within a handler before it exits, LC will execute those "sends" in the order the scr

Re: script works only during debugging

Think of script execution like a slide at the playground. Only one kid can go down the slide at a time, and each kid has to get off the slide before the next kid can go. However you can queue up kids on the platform at the top. You can even tell one kid to go before another that is already on th

Re: script works only during debugging

Solved it! It seems the problem was related to "send in 0 milliseconds". In essence, HANDLER 1 before exiting would call HANDLER 2, and then HANDLER 2 would before exiting do two "send in 0 milliseconds" to HANDLERS 3 & 4. During debugging, when I inserted a "wait 50 milliseconds with messages" a

Re: script works only during debugging

Hmmm... I seem to recall a similar issue. If you are not on the card that contains the "abc" button, then LC will not know about it yet. Try changing your script to refer to the button as button "abc" of card "" and see what happens. Bob On May 10, 2012, at 12:37 PM, Mark Wieder wrote: > Pe

Well, there is one thing worse that that - somethig that works in the IDE but not in a standalone. I have a situationlike that right now where a simple "send mouseUp to button "abc" where the sender is on the same card as button "abc". Works fine in the IDE but fails in a standalone, with the err

Try wrapping all your handler code in a try/catch construct and putting a breakpoint in the catch section. See what happens. Bob On May 9, 2012, at 7:33 PM, Nicolas Cueto wrote: > Hello All, > > A script that processes some text data and then sets a card's > custom-property to that data has

Re: script works only during debugging

Is your referencing correct? Does this involve multiples stacks (substacks) or multiple cards. Do you have unrelated stacks (Pluggin/Utility) open at the same time? Is the reason it works with the debugger is that when the debugger comes up the appropriate card/stack is bought into focus? Have you

Hello All, A script that processes some text data and then sets a card's custom-property to that data has inconsistent results. In the debugger window it works fine. I put a breakpoint in the script, run it, and when the script pauses, I click "Continue" and, when the script exits, the custom-pro
